Windows 7: Random crashes and freezes

I have had several instances of crashes (although only a couple of BSOD, mostly the system self re-boots) and also freezes, where the system simply stops responding. The odd thing is that the system will stop responding to any input, but I see the hard drive light flashing now and again, so IT is still active. CTL+ALT DEL brings up an error message after about a 2 min wait, and I cannot access the Task Manager.

Yesterday, I logged in to find my background picture missing, and my background was black. I rebooted to find it the same. I opened Chrome to research the problem and after a couple of minutes the background was back to normal.

I have run Avast and Malwarebites, all issues cleaned before the latest issues.

Ok, I have had several more crashes. Twice I have found a message that "Windows has recovered from an error" and once I found the log in screen at 800 x 600 resolution with an error message showing. I could not copy the message. I have run the two tools suggested and attached the zips.

Thanks. FYI, when I got home from work, the computer was off. I had left it on. There was no message about a problem or crash, but my Video managment software had reset to an earlier version. I use eVGA Precision X. It reset to a version from 2013 and new versions come out several times a year. I did not update it again.
